Dustbowl Distortion Tone Pot Mod

Hey y'all, dunno if anyone has experience w/ the Mammoth Dustbowl but I've finally, passively, finished populating the rando PCB that I acquired. Build calls for a tone pot of C5K, but I've only got a free C10K here though and all the other parts. Will I shatter the fabric of reality, or maybe set something on fire (hopefully) if I sub the C10K for the C5K?
 
You could solder a 10k resistor across lugs 1 and 3 and you've got a 5k pot.
Isn't that illegal? Seems like Big Potentiometer wouldn't want that secret to get out... So lemme make sure I got this- that make the resistors in parallel, RT = (R1*R2)/(R1+R2), math checks out yeah?
